PICTURES OF CARDS

Here are a couple of cards I made.  I'll try to get more pictures added later.

NEW HOBBY

I have a new hobby thanks to several ladies at church.  I am learning to make greeting cards.  We have had fun being together and I am enjoying doing it on my own at home also.  Check back later for some pictures.  Maybe tonight but it might be tomorrow evening.

Later,

MY CORNER OF THE SUN ROOM

We bought a couple of new to us pieces of furniture for the "white bedroom" as we call it.  So, we had to move out my least favorite piece in the room.  The base is a small desk with a vanity-type mirror attached to it.  I took the mirror off and moved the desk to the sun room.  It looks great in there because it is white

and the walls are chocolate.  It is going to be my desk for making cards (a new

endeavor I am undertaking).

Here's the desk moved into the sun room.  Looks great against brown wall, I think!

This is the picture that will be hung over the desk, tonight I hope.  Still looking good!

Added a new tape dispenser in pink and a pencil cup that is really a 

votive candle holder.  It is cut glass and cheaper

than the real pencil cups they had and much

prettier.  I'll post more pictures after 

the picture is hung.

Later tonight,

Picture is hung.  Lamp on the desk.
Ready to work.

Votive candle holder turned pencil cup.  I like it.

COMING SOON TO ETSY

This will be a custom order sign in my Etsy Shop soon.  I painted this one for myself to match some bins that I already have in the laundry room.

Lots of possibilities with this one.  Various color choices, distressed edges, the whole sign could be distressed.  Thanks for looking.

BABY

How cute are these!  Use them as a decoration for a nursery, a baby shower, daycare, etc. 

These are wooden first painted pink then crackled with white on top.  Letters are hand painted pink not stenciled.  Hangers are made of pink sheer ribbon with a bow at the top.  See these in my Etsy shop at

www.laynescrafts.etsy.com

If you like these but need something other than Baby spelled out or need a different color combination, leave me a comment here or a convo (same as email) on my Etsy shop.  Thanks for looking!!

WEDDING GIFT

I have been wanting to try this plaque for some time now.  Other people on Etsy sell these and variations of them and they do very well.  I do not have access to a way to make stencils nor am I a very good stenciller.  I guess I should look for stenciling classes!  Others use vinyl letters.  Both ways make beautiful plaques.  I decided to give it a try.  I really thought it would be going in the trash at the beginning, but I managed to work through it and neaten it up.  Here is the final product.
